The purchase of an espresso machine is not done yet because the required accessories must be purchased, so the perfect coffee espresso means nothing stands in the way.

The first espresso machine is the

Coffee maker

As the name of the Gaggia Classic Coffee suggests, it is in this machine that is a classic of the experienced manufacturer Gaggia espresso machine. Strictly speaking, this model is since the 70s, more or less made the same.

The Gaggia Classic Coffee or shortly Gaggia has a pump pressure of about 15 bar, an aluminum boiler and a solenoid valve. It is a classic single circuit, i.e. Steam, hot water and brew group run in the same water cycle. The purchase of an espresso and froth milk simultaneously with a single circuit that is not possible, but not really necessary unless you want to produce many coffee drinks in a row.

Like most of the filter holder is of course a steam nozzle for frothing milk available. May also be easily mixed drinks such as cappuccino, latte macchiato and more are being prepared. Make sure the milk froth out that a small vortex is created, and enough air is mixed with the milk.

The following is a video should look like good milk foam.

In conclusion, the Gaggia CC is a very robust and durable machine when operated properly and allows very good espressos.

Second Coffee Mill

Mandatory but is a suitable espresso grinder. Recommended in the beginner class are the brands Demoka, Rancilio and Isomac. Make sure that the different degrees of grinding of the mill are screened very finely. It is quite possible that coffee beans are ground into a convenient mill at level 1 and level 2 is too coarse to fine. Please do not compromise on the wrong end. The mill is important in deciding whether the coffee is tasty or not. If you want to save, be sure to look for used mills of the above Makes the lookout.

Third Tamper

Thus, the optimal and uniform regrind can be pressed into the filter holder, then a suitable tamper be ordered. This must have CC for the Gaggia 58mm diameter. To avoid damaging your work surface when pressing the ground material, we recommend a pressing station. Especially when a filter holder is used with a spout, is possible without a pressing station hardly a uniform pressure.

Once the coffee is finally run into the cup, you need a container into which you can tap the wet ground coffee. This down-container there is many variations and price ranges. Make sure that the container is dishwasher safe.

4th Always nice clean

Let's get to cleaning: After moving the espresso should brew group the machine during a short reference to a special brush exempt from coffee residue. A group brush cannot hurt, so that the seal between the filter holder and brewing unit remains clean.

The machine should be de-scaled at least once a month and freed by coffee degreaser of coffee residues. So make sure that the machine will give you years of enjoyment.

5th The espresso beans

If you now have the complete set together, really missing is the perfect coffee. I encourage you to start the India Malabar Monsooned of Caffé Fausto, which is very "tolerant" towards the wrong parameters in the operation.

Important Rule

Please, please do not buy pre-ground powder and best even in the consumer electronics retailer. The bean is there sometimes for several months. Thus, the espresso tastes then. Coffee roasters around the corner from the private or via the Internet at the above Roasters guarantee freshness and quality in the cup.

6th + Cups of sweet

Finally, we would like to drink espresso and cappuccinos indeed from stylish cups. If you still need anyway espresso or cappuccino cups, make sure that the espresso cups are thick-walled. If you preheat the cups using the reference prior hot water, the coffee stays hot long after moving nicely. Cappuccino or latte macchiato with something special like sweet would want to try syrup. With hazelnut or almond syrup and coffee despisers "converted".

7th Frothing

To make the cappuccino and latte milk foam right, you need a pot, can be foamed optimal in the milk called frothing.

The pot should not be completely square, because otherwise the milk "swirl" is difficult and the foam is not homogeneous. The spout should not be too blunt; otherwise the milk is too thick beam. Personally I use 3 different pots. A small, though I'm making only a single cappuccino. An average of two cappuccinos simultaneously makes two and a large latte.

Conclusion:

You have noticed that a

machine needed something more to learn and accessories as a capsule or a fully automatic machine. But if you are someone who likes to reach the peak of flavor then you should try it. The whole starter kit as I have presented here should cost about 500-600 euros.
